Chillcast #234: Continuous Mix

Leave a comment

As promised last week, I’ve got something a little different for you this time around. Besides the fact that the show is a tad tardy, you’ll soon discover that this episode is a continuous mix of fairy hypnotizing extended tracks with the throbbing heart of a dance beat and a thinking man’s concept of melodic accoutrement. As these are all special-permissions tracks, there aren’t any free downloads this week, alas…

“Spring Raindrops” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Spring Raindrops” Giovanni Perini The Cinematic Sessions: Shanghai (2010)

Itandeiru
Watashi no
Aware na
Kokoro ga
Itandeiru
Watashi no

My poor heart
Oh how it is aching
Can you hear the sound
Of it breaking
Show pity on the one
You’re forsaking
Look at all the love here
Just for the taking

(repeat all)

– by Anji Bee (BMI)

Note: These vocals were originally recorded in 2008 for the CC Asia Band Creative Commons project. My vocal files were also made available to remixers on the CC Mixter site, where Giovanni downloaded them to create this new version. An abbreviated version of these lyrics are featured in the Plastic Chair song, “Dispersion,“ from 2003. My Plastic Chair partner, Chukimai, translated my English lyrics to Japanese.

“Buddhahood” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Buddhahood” Benoit Cassar Danai, Vol. 2 (CD 1 : Camera Rolling) (2010)

Know ye not that this life is deceit?
Know ye not that enjoyment is illusion?
Know ye not the world is a passing show?
Know ye not that happiness is a dream?
Know ye not that praise and blame is insubstantial?
Know yet not that appearance is the mind itself?
Know yet not that the mind itself is Buddhahood?
Know yet not that the Buddhahood is the body of truth?

When ye reflect, all appearances are compacted out of mind
Contemplate the mind by day and night
From contemplation of the mind comes beatific vision
Abide in that beatitude
Know yet not that the mind itself is Buddhahood
Know yet not that the Buddhahood is the body of truth
Know ye not that the body of truth is truth itself
When ye meditate upon these things assiduously
Though ye do not succeed in rooting out desire and hatred
Know that whatever appears is your own mind-stuff
And that the mind itself is void
If ye dwell in wisdom inseparably
All the observances of the law, oblations, and the like
Are thus perfectly fulfilled

Know ye not that this life is deceit?
Know ye not that enjoyment is illusion?
Know ye not the world is a passing show?
Know ye not that happiness is a dream?
Know ye not that praise and blame is insubstantial?
Know yet not that appearance is the mind itself?
Know yet not that the mind itself is Buddhahood?
Know yet not that the Buddhahood is the body of truth?

Note: These lyrics are an adaptation of one of the Songs of Milarepa, a classic Tibetan Buddhist text. I recorded these vocals originally for the CC Asia Band Creative Commons project, where the song was called “Crossing The Pond.” My vocals were made available on the ccMixter site, where Benoit discovered them and created this version of the song.

“Moody and sexy” isn’t too bad a way to sum up the overall musical theme of this week’s one hour set. This mix is infused with smooth, sultry rhythms and sensual vocals, but still retains some grit and edge. From downtempo and deep house to dub step and electro pop, there’s plenty of musical variety to savor. And you’re definitely gonna love the amazing free downloads included below!

After last week’s extended 2 hour episode, we are back to our standard one hour format this week. I’ve got some slightly edgier stuff in the mix, but there’s still plenty of chill to keep the mood just how you like it. Look forward to a nice balance of vocals and instrumentals, as well as downtempo and upbeat tunes. There’s some truly excellent free downloads by some top shelf artists, so be sure to grab ’em while they’re hot!

Chillcast #230: Summertime

5 Comments

Today’s 1 hour show is a pretty classic summertime Chillcast mix; you’ve got a number of genres represented here with both vocal and instrumental pieces. We start out with dub, move into downtempo chillout, pick it up with deep house, then a little drum ‘n’ bass, and bring it on home with a killer dance pop track. After I recorded the show I saw an amazing Lee Scratch Perry photo and interview feature that I highly recommend. Be sure to grab the 4 superb free downloads included!

Freedom to Share Remix Event

1 Comment

Anji Bee has contributed an accapella to the big ccMixter Freedom to Share remix event going on right now. The community remix site is responding to recent attacks made by ASCAP against the Creative Commons license concept. This event seeks to “demonstrate the power of creative collaboration using Creative Commons licenses.” If you’d like to get involved, you can create your own remix using any of the Freedom to Share accapellas, including Anji Bee’s “We Are Connected” vocal. A number of completed mixes are already available for download and reuse in podcasts, vidcasts, radio, and various other non-commercial purposes. You have until August 28, 2010 to upload your remix!

Personally, I’ve been thrilled by the interactions I’ve had with musicians and other vocalists working within the CC format, and have no problem with making some of my work available under the Attribution-NonCommercial license. In  2007, I contributed vocals to 2 songs on the Creative Commons free download album, Adrift, by Moosefrog and in 2008, I contributed vocals to 2 songs on the massive CC Asia Band project, CABACA. I have since made several other vocals and spoken words available on ccMixter.

Chillcast #229: Fantastic

2 Comments

Somehow I managed to say “fantastic” no less than 3 times in the intro of today’s show and I decided that wasn’t half-bad as the subtitle. I’m going with an ever-so-slightly more ambient mix of tunes, with dashes of dream pop, and plenty of downtempo and chillout vibes. So get ready to drift off into pleasant little daydreams as you listen, my friends. There’s some cool free downloads included in the mix, so be sure to go grab ’em for your collection!
